F(l)ight Songs #8
(Photo credit goes to Pixabay.com user federicomanderno.) It's time for another F(l)ight Songs! It's been a while. Let me give you an explanation of how the idea of F(l)ight Songs came into being and what they're are all about. I first started posting what I was calling "fight" songs while I was struggling terribly with [...]
Stronger
I don't deserve You But you love me anyways I could never earn You But You fight to make a way. You draw me to you Even when I pull away Your love is stronger When I think I've lost my way. I don't deserve You… But your mercy saves the day. Tina March 9, [...]
Hold On
Unexcited Tired and I don't want to move It's just morning It's just the thought of the push The downward pressure of gravity The slow and steady trickle Of the incessant melting and freezing of snow. Is it time for Spring yet? Is it time for things to be reborn? Is it time to feel [...]
F(L)ight Songs #7
This isn't an ordinary F(L)ight songs. However, how God met me--when I needed Him to meet me--wasn't ordinary either. Sometimes Jesus chooses to meet us halfway. It's wonderful that He plans ahead of time exactly what we'll need. I can forget, too easily, that He goes before us and He lovingly hems us in. "Lord, [...]
My Light on the Horizon
Too tired to reach Too worn to seek Dragging my stumbling feet Waiting for my reprieve Anchored and out of reach Longing to rise and speak I try but my voice is weak Afloat but I'm moored to the beach When will joy be the song of my heart? Lord, I'm worn I don't know [...]
Pilgrimage

However, God also takes us on our own individualized journeys that may lead us to unimaged places here on earth. "Faith motivated Abraham to obey God’s call and leave the [...]
Impregnable Defenses?
Sometimes we forget (or perhaps you don't even know), that God wants to show us that He is strong and able. He wants to be known by the world for who He is and what He can do. Don't we all desire to be known? To really be seen and understood? How much more do [...]
Hope
Mental unwellness It's a tide that makes life bleak It's a struggle The constant juggle Emotions like waves of the sea Anxiety, guilt, and grief Low moods and high water Life can feel like a teeter-totter Where's the balance? Where's the peace? Sometimes tears are a release But then it begins again Driving me round [...]
Behind the Poem: Steps
It's so true. You really can't see (or understand) the complete picture until you've walked a mile in someone else's shoes. I'm not sure a mile is even enough ground to cover it. It's far too easy to judge, point fingers and cast stones. Yet, at some point on the journey we all do it. [...]
